Officer pleads guilty to 2 charges

A former Indianapolis police officer pleaded guilty in two criminal cases Friday morning. David Dinsmore, 46, pleaded guilty to drunk driving and was sentenced to time already served. He also pleaded guilty to a fraud charge, which was dropped to a misdemeanor, and was sentenced to 180 days of probation. Dinsmore was arrested in November after police say he drove his squad car into a mailbox. An officer found a bottle of Oxycontin hidden in Dinsmore’s pants. Prosecutors say Dinsmore changed dates on the prescriptions to get refills faster than allowed by law.
